Today I learned...Part 3


Recommended Posts

and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has nothing to do with LSD 

 

I am the Walrus koo koo kachoo 

 on this day in history 1886

Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, begins offering a bubbly beverage called Coca-Cola, a patent medicine said to ease ailments such as dyspepsia, headache, impotence, and morphine addiction. The drink will become rather popular as time goes by.

 

I believe it also had coca-leaf extract (cocaine) in it

Put Zappa at the top of that list - and yet,  he fired Steve Vai for smoking a joint.

 

Does anyone really believe the ‘Mothers of Invention’ were not severely drug-influenced?

No problem with accepting Zappa lived a clean life, mostly ate hot dogs

 

Yeah, but still so surreal, considering the bizarre quality of his creative work, and the life-long company of fellow musicians.

Said tobacco was his favorite vegetable.
